and when i go out there and, by the way, i live in baltimore. i go home every evening and i talk to my constituents and they are appalled at what they are seeing. so, again, the country is better off and the country will be better off. i think what the president has got to do and i know he will do is he needs to make sure he tells the journey. not blame it. we don't have to get into the blame game. that's not necessary. tell us what the journey has been, what we've been through. tell what he has done and accomplished. then he must make it clear that we must protect our progress. you see, that's what i'm concerned about. my constituents are about protecting the progres they like the affordable care act. they like the fact that kids can be on an insurance policy. they like the fact that they're not going to be discriminated against because it's a woman and her poll 0 sis wiicies are high man. >> this is the message. >> they need that. >> let me ask you, obviously the president needs as much turnout in minority communities as he can get given the g

. >>> a very emotional victory for the baltimore ravens over the new england patriots in sunday night football, especially for ravens receiver torrey smith. he caught two touchdown passes one night after his younger brother was killed in a motorcycle accident. the ravens went on to win, 31-30. it happened on a disputed last second 27-yard field goal by justin tucker. was it good or not? the ref said yes. it was a brutal week three for the replacement referees. they admit to making mistakes over san francisco. they incorrectly granted 49ers coach jim harbaugh two challenges in the fourth quarter. and in the detroit, tennessee, washington, cincinnati game, the refs stepped off too much yardage in penalty calls. not a good day. >>> meanwhile, "mad men" was dethroned. homeland took home best drama emmy last night. "modern family" is still the king of comedy. it won't best comedy series for the third year in a row. and speaking of streaks, there is nothing like this one. jon stewart's "the daily show" was named the best variety program for a tenth straight year. stewart basically made it t
